Fall & Dry Skin ... Rescue Me, Shea

As if I couldn't find more uses for shea butter beyond my hair and body. Now I use a dab of it on my face along with my regular moisturizer. If you're like me and notice your skin getting drier as the season grows colder, perhaps a bit of shea butter is the answer for you! Other alternatives to eliminate dryness are olive oil, jojoba oil, safflower oil, and coconut oil to name a few. Choose your butter and/or oil wisely though. Coconut oil may be comedogenic for some, while an allergy to nuts could mean bad news with shea butter.
